Woman Craving a Child

A phantom image of Du Tianhong appeared above the Phoenix of Blazing Fire egg.

Zhou Hao looked at Du Tianhong in surprise and waved, smiling, "Old man, you're not dead?"

"Alas, I was afraid this situation would arise." Du Tianhong sighed and continued, "To the owner of the Spirit-Womb Ring! Both Divine Beast Eggs have restrictions placed by me. You can only contract with one of them. The other will be left for the other owner of the Spirit-Womb Ring!"

Zhou Hao finally realized something was wrong. This was merely a residual phantom image of Du Tianhong, not Du Tianhong resurrected.

"Alas~" he shook his head in disappointment.

Du Tianhong, however, continued as if talking to himself, "By now, I should have ascended to immortality and cannot make any demands of you, but I still hope you and your wife can live in harmony and not let personal grudges ruin your relationship."

Zhou Hao felt ashamed hearing this. What a joke about living in harmony with a wife! Who was he even married to? Besides, his relationship with Murong was already bad; what was there to ruin?

He understood what Du Tianhong meant by this speech. He probably thought Zhou Hao had monopolized the treasure and hadn't left anything for Murong, which is why he came out to scold him.

But it wasn't his fault! That woman didn't even care about these things.

"Alas~"

Du Tianhong sighed heavily again, "You two should get along! I can't manage it anymore."

As soon as his voice fell, his phantom image flickered and disappeared.

Zhou Hao raised his hand, then shook his head, sighed, and finally lowered his hand in resignation.

It wasn't a matter of getting along or not. The old man simply didn't understand their situation.

Indeed, Du Tianhong could never have imagined that the other Spirit-Womb Ring would be in the hands of a Lord of the Divine Realm. Moreover, this Lord of the Divine Realm was not only stronger than him, but more importantly, was extremely desperate for a child, to the point of using force on Zhou Hao as soon as they met. This... alas, speaking of it brings tears to his eyes!

Zhou Hao shook his head helplessly. Seeing Du Tianhong completely dissipate, he tried to contract with the Phoenix of Blazing Fire again, but unfortunately, even without Du Tianhong present, he still couldn't succeed.

He gave up and lamented softly, "It seems I really have to hand the egg over to that old hag."

"Dad, who is the old hag?" Zhou Yuanbao asked curiously.

Zhou Hao paused, his eyes flickered, and he said with a wicked grin, "She's your mother, your mother. When she arrives, you need to greet her properly, understand?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yuanbao's eyes lit up, and he nodded heavily, "Okay."

Zhou Hao smiled with satisfaction, stroking Zhou Yuanbao's dragon head, and thought with secret delight, Old hag, you want a child, don't you? I wonder what your expression will be when you find out you've become a mother unexpectedly? It'll be priceless! Hahaha...

As he thought, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Zhou Yuanbao looked at him strangely and complained, "Dad, you're laughing so weirdly!"

"Uh~" Zhou Hao's "weird" smile vanished instantly. He then sternly reprimanded, "What do you know, brat?"

"I know a lot," Zhou Yuanbao said confidently.

Its inherited memories had taught it many things. Even though it had just been born, it wouldn't know less than others.

Zhou Hao rolled his eyes imperceptibly and patted its head, "Go play somewhere else. Your dad needs to cultivate."

"Oh." Zhou Yuanbao obediently flew to the side, boredly studying the structure of the secret chamber.

Zhou Hao then began to cultivate in earnest.

Time really flies when you're cultivating. When he opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was Murong, clad in a red phoenix robe.

"Old..." Zhou Hao almost blurted it out, but thankfully stopped himself in time. He then forced a smile and said, "You're here?"

"Are you Mom?" Zhou Yuanbao twisted its long body and flew over.

"Mom?" Murong, who had just appeared, was slightly stunned. She sized up Zhou Yuanbao and then realized, "You're the newly born Five-Clawed Golden Dragon. You're a bit earlier than I expected."

"Mom, are you called the old hag? Dad always calls you that," Zhou Yuanbao asked innocently.

"Hmm?" Murong's gaze, like a sharp knife, pierced Zhou Hao.

Zhou Hao felt a chill run down his spine. He shivered and instinctively took two steps back, waving his hands with a forced smile, "It's not like that, you have to let me explain."

Murong stared intently at him. After a while, she slowly said, "For the sake of the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon, I'll let you off this time."

"Huh?" Zhou Hao was stunned. She was so easygoing, which was beyond his expectations.

Murong ignored Zhou Hao, beckoned to Zhou Yuanbao, and said with a smile, "Come here."

Zhou Yuanbao happily flew over and sweetly called out, "Mom."

"Aiya!" Murong's smile became more pleasant. She stroked Zhou Yuanbao's head and asked, "What's your name?"

"Zhou Yuanbao," Zhou Yuanbao replied obediently.

Murong turned to look at Zhou Hao and asked coldly, "What's your name?"

Up to this point, she still didn't know Zhou Hao's name.

Zhou Hao, having just escaped a disaster, breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing her ask, he quickly replied, "Zhou Hao."

Murong nodded slightly, "Murong. However, you should still address me as Your Majesty."

Zhou Hao's mouth twitched. He nodded, "Yes, Your Majesty."

Murong gave a Divine Crystal to Zhou Yuanbao and said with a smile, "Here, eat this!"

Zhou Yuanbao's eyes lit up, and it immediately exclaimed excitedly, "Thank you, Mom."

Murong smiled even more happily. She knew what "Mom" meant. Although the word "mother" was rarely used by her, it wasn't entirely absent, so she understood.

She also had the idea of becoming a mother, so Zhou Yuanbao calling her "mother" was exactly what she wanted.

Du Tianhong noticed her smile and understood. He thought to himself, "She truly is a woman who longs for children."

When Murong faced Du Tianhong, her gentle smile was replaced by a cool demeanor. She said, "Let's begin!"

Du Tianhong was taken aback and glanced at Zhou Yuanbao. "This... isn't this a bit much!"

Murong placed a hand on his shoulder, and in the next moment, they appeared in the secret room above.

"A formation has been set up here, so no one can see or hear us. Don't worry!"

"Oh." Du Tianhong nodded and then began to undress on his own.

After so many times, he was used to it. There was no escaping, so he might as well enjoy it. He wasn't losing anything anyway.

Seeing this, Murong nodded with satisfaction. "Good, you don't need me to remind you every time."

After Du Tianhong stripped naked, he said boldly, "Bring it on!"

Pfft~

His comical appearance made Murong burst into laughter. Then, her clothes also began to come off.

This time, Du Tianhong didn't wait for her to make the first move; he pounced on her himself.

Murong watched him with a smile in her eyes. Then, the two of them got down to business.

After a bout of passionate lovemaking, the secret room was filled with an intimate atmosphere
